Hi all,

I have a Netra T1405 with 1G of RAM running Solaris 8 and VxVM. The root disk is encapsulated, the rest of the disks are also under Veritas control, in two disk groups. Since much of the available literature advises against having the dump device on a disk controlled by Veritas, I thought of setting it up on a portion of disk which is not under Veritas control (unfortunatelly installing one more disk is not an option).
The question is: is it possible to take a part of one of the disks out of Veritas, so that it becomes accessible by its "conventional" Unix device? In all the setups that I have seen so far Veritas controlled the entire disk, eg. c0t0d0s2. Is this doable, and if so, how?

Thanks, I will summarise
